Global Collapse

Chapter 835 Gu Mian's Distant Relatives

Louis shook his head: "I know that the statues in that underground cave hold many secrets, but only the highest level of the upper class can access them. That cave... is guarded by a founder, and people are not allowed to approach it under normal circumstances."

Gu Mian looked at the flickering flame of the candle on the table. It seemed that Louis didn't know about the statue granting wishes either, so there was no way to ask him about it.

Gu Mian had a headache. This wish-granting function was too unstable. He had originally hoped that Louis would know some inside information.

Just as his forehead was throbbing, there was a loud "bang" from the front door.

The door, which was still not fully repaired, was suddenly flung open with a creaking sound; it was Xiao Qiao returning.

She looked a little guilty, quickly threw something she was holding onto the table, and then turned and ran away.

Gu Mian looked at the things on the table; they were the electricity cards she had taken.

It seems she's had enough fun at the amusement park.

"Great, we can finally turn on the lights." The fat man happily picked up the card on the table, went to the door, inserted it into the card slot, and then pressed the light switch.

But the overhead lights didn't respond at all.

The fat man tried several more times, but the light still wouldn't turn on.

It seems that Xiao Qiao didn't just have enough fun; she just ran out of money in her account and had to come back.

No wonder you looked so guilty just now.

I wonder how the Killer Teacher and the other lucky upper class are doing now.

Because there was no electricity, Gu Mian was able to have a candlelight dinner.

Under the candlelight, the rabbit on the plate looked especially delicious, so delicious that Gu Mian even dreamed about it that night.

Using a chainsaw to chop people today was too exhausting, so Gu Mian slept very soundly.

He dreamt that he was cutting through the floor of a pyramid stage to rescue Louis, but when he chiseled a hole and looked inside the pyramid, he saw a large rabbit below.

Gu Mian woke up immediately.

When he woke up, it was almost noon. He felt something furry under his head, and when he turned his head, he saw that his pillow had turned into a rabbit.

Gu Mian: "..."

He reached out, grabbed the rabbit by its ears, and carried it out the door.

The fat man saw it and shouted, "Doctor, when did you secretly catch a rabbit?"

"I caught it in my dream." Gu Mian threw the rabbit on the ground, and it hopped and skipped out the door, just in time to meet the mechanical dog Xiao Hei outside the door. Xiao Hei also imitated it, hopping and skipping, and turned into a mechanical rabbit.

Xiao Hei was also brought into the real world, although Gu Mian didn't think it was a proper "creature".

The fat man had already heard about Gu Mian turning into a wishing machine from Chu Changge and 007. He scratched his head and said, "Doctor, I feel like this is having a big impact on our lives. Will we be turned into rabbits by you one day?"

As he spoke, he imagined himself as a rabbit—a strong rabbit-man, as tall as a person and weighing two hundred pounds.

This image is scarier than a ghost, the fat man shuddered.

Gu Mian plans to go to the supermarket today to find the big-nosed sales clerk that Fatty mentioned yesterday, and ask him where he got the information about the variety show "The Trial and the Crown".

Of course, I should also call the recruitment office at Carnival Wharf to see if I can chat with that old Xu again.

If Lao Xu is really Xu Xingcheng, he should know how to control the wish-granting mechanism on him.

Gu Mian was going to the supermarket to find someone, and Fatty naturally followed along.

"I remember what he looks like very clearly, Doctor. You can rest assured, I guarantee I'll find him." The fat man followed behind Gu Mian, patting his chest.

"Oh, right, doctor," the fat man suddenly remembered something and said to Gu Mian, "This morning I saw several injured people helping a group of upper-class people pass by not far from here. The injured people weren't dressed very well, and they were a different skin color from the upper-class people."

Gu Mian thought for a moment: "Those people must have been brought from Paradise World."

Those brought into the real world, whether upper or lower class, all bore some marks. "I also thought those who looked like lower class people were quite thin and weak, like a gust of wind could blow them over," the fat man recalled the scene he had witnessed.

"There were also a few upper-class people being carried on the backs of lower-class people. I felt that the lower-class people couldn't carry them very well, and their legs were shaking when they walked. The upper-class people being carried were quite disgusted with the lower-class people, and they shouted at the lower-class people to walk faster."

It seems that no one has quite grasped the current situation.

The upper class thought they were still in paradise and were ordering the lower class to take them back to the upper class area.

I wonder what it will be like when they finally face reality.

As luck would have it, Gu Mian ran into the group the fat man had mentioned when she arrived at the supermarket entrance.

The supermarket is a rather conspicuous building; you can see it from a distance.

Clearly, this group of people had spotted the supermarket from afar and rushed over immediately.

Gu Mian watched them from a distance.

Supermarkets and shopping malls in the amusement park world were built by the upper class. When they saw the supermarket, they probably thought they had returned to the territory of the upper class and couldn't wait to order the lower class to take them there.

But before they could even step inside, they were stopped by employees inside.

"Where are the tickets?" The staff member held out his hand to them.

You need to buy a ticket at the ticket booth to enter the supermarket, but the upper class doesn't know this.

The first reaction of the upper-class people who were stopped at the front was not to wonder what the ticket was, but to stare wide-eyed at the employee blocking their way.

He thought to himself, "Inferior people."

Why would the lower class be in a supermarket exclusively for the upper class? Shouldn't they be staying in the filthy lower-class residential area?
Moreover, this person of low social standing was wearing a work uniform, seemingly a supermarket employee. Low social standing working in a supermarket? That's outrageous! He felt the entire supermarket in front of him was becoming filthy. He vowed to file a complaint against this supermarket once he recovered from his injuries.

"Get out of our way, you idiot! Can't you see we're all injured? Move aside and let us in." He said, covering the roughly bandaged wound on his arm. "Bring out the food and water, and then call the nearest hospital to pick us up."

He still had some doubts in his mind as he spoke.

The buildings in this area should have been an upper-class neighborhood, but they had all been abandoned for a long time. Moreover, I didn't see a single upper-class person along the way. When I finally found an open supermarket, the employees inside were lower-class people.

He had a bad feeling, but instinctively didn't dare to think too much about it. He just reached out and shoved the employee in front of him: "Idiot, did you hear me? What are you standing there for?"

Aside from Gu Mian, this was the first time the supermarket staff had ever seen someone so arrogant.

He opened his mouth wide and looked the upper-class man up and down as if he were looking at a ghost. Then he looked behind him, wondering if this person was a relative or friend of Gu Mian who was bullying him.

Seeing that there was a group of injured people behind him, and no familiar faces, the staff felt relieved.

He rolled his eyes at the leading upper-class man and uttered, "Crazy."

Then he turned and left.

This surprised not only the upper class, but also the lower class who were treated like slaves, who stared wide-eyed in fear as the supermarket employee left.

"How dare he speak to someone of high status like that? Isn't he afraid of dying?"

"Haven't you noticed how strange this place is? The houses here are all so nice, clearly the domain of the upper class, but we haven't found any other upper-class people here yet. It's as if there are no other upper-class people here at all."

Two lower-class people with injured legs supported each other and whispered to each other, their voices low, afraid of being overheard by the upper-class people next to them.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" someone shouted at them from the side.

It was 1868, the first person to claim the championship. Because Gu Mian was sitting at the back of the stands during the tug-of-war and didn't rush up, he wasn't injured.

In his heart, he was already half a superior person, but he was unexpectedly brought to this place. He was anxious and eager to return to the stage to continue competing for first place so that he could become a true superior person.

So when he met the upper class who had been teleported here, he worked the hardest, carrying the injured upper class on his back and running around tirelessly, hoping to get closer to them so that they could get along better in the future.

Look everyone, it's only one o'clock! Gugu is doing great again!
